THE NEW YORKER enjoyed the performances of the Fur- man University intelligentsia, whose leader evidently had ideas of his own about the music in hand. Here is the standing of the clubs, as we recorded It on our own card: Penn State, Wesleyan, Furman, Cali- fornia (which would have been first had it been able to stay on pitch), Missouri, Ohio Wesleyan, Yale and Princeton ( tied) , Dartmouth, Ford- ham, N. Y. D., Columbia and Mid- dlebury. Something will have to be done about the singing of New Yorkers! S CHUMANN'S second-best setting of "Die Lotosblume" in an ex- ecr ble translation was not the best possible selection for the prize song, although its modulations made it easy to detect flaws in pitch and ensemble. The English version is so far away from the music that any performance must be unconvincing. And thirteen consecutive hearings of it are not so much a pleasure as an endurance test. The "choice songs"-meaning those \\7hich the clubs sang of their own volition-suggested that courses in music appreciation are not too popular at colleges, and the array of college anthems was much worse than Mr. Downes hinted in his lecture prior to the announcement of awards. It seemed to us that only the picturesque "Gamaliel Painter's Cane" of Mid- dlebury and "Mother of Men" of Yale were above the level of illiteracy. These demurrers, however, should not obscure the value of the Intercol- legiate Musical Council's work in holding regional and national Eistedd- fods. Next year's vocal battle is sched- uled for March 10. Save the date! T HE Deutsches Theater, which travels from the Heckscher The- atre to the Longacre, offered a pro- duction of "Ein W alzertraum," (anglice, "A Waltz Dream") which is recommended to anyone who can understand ((I ch bin, du bist, er ist." The settings are simple and the chorus i5 sketchy, but the show goes with immense snap and the comedy of Ed- mund Loewe and Ernst Robert, two of the most accomplished of our local German actors, will be a revelation to those who have grown ,to believe that la ughs can be obtained only by roarers in baggy pants. The tenor has dan- gerous methods of tone production, but he makes the hero something more than a singing stick. A paragraph must be reserved for 97 S .
